The dungeon has been parasitized

Chapter 45 Warcraft

Both the black wolf and the rock frog were in poor condition. The black wolf had several bloody cuts on its body.

The rock frog's robust hind legs appeared to be uncovered by rocks, with several pieces of flesh torn off.

The two were several meters apart. The black wolf stared at it cautiously, while the rock frog's bulging eyes seemed unfocused... though frogs' eyes usually look dead.

These are two monsters I've never seen before.

Yanami watched them stand facing off for a few seconds before the black wolf made the first move.

The black wolf subtly pushed back with its hind legs, then suddenly leaped towards the large tree beside it—bang!

The moment it moved, the rock frog locked onto it, its hind legs glowing as it kicked, then stomped on the ground with a loud thud, its seemingly heavy body leaping forward at an incredible speed!

The rock frog approached the black wolf in mid-air, and as it got close to the tree, its rocky head slammed into the black wolf's chest.

At the same time, Yanami saw a glow emanating from the black wolf.

boom!

"Awoo!"

The black wolf was howling in agony.

Did they bump into each other?!

The tree was snapped in half by the rock frogs, and as it fell, it stirred up fallen leaves and dust, obscuring their figures.

If the black wolf were hit, it might be smashed in two... Yanami didn't expect this giant frog to be so strong.

But as the cover fell away, the black wolf's figure was revealed beside the fallen tree.

Yanami noticed that at the moment the black wolf collided with the rock frog, the black wolf turned into a black shadow, merging with the shadow of the tree!

It turns out it was trying to escape to the shade of a tree... but the tree was knocked down, and it had nowhere to hide, so it revealed itself.

They're all so strong...

Moreover, judging from this black wolf's abilities, Klein might really like it. It's somewhat similar to the cloaking ability of the previous Bone Thief Badger, which can hide itself.

After attacking, the rock frog stood frozen in place, while the black wolf, panting, raised one of its front paws, blood dripping continuously.

Although it dodged the fatal attack, one of its claws was still severed. The black wolf stared intently at the rock frog's underside, where its severed forepaw lay.

Why didn't the rock frog press its advantage?

Yanami was somewhat puzzled. The rock frog's head was even facing the tree it had knocked down, while the black wolf was beside it.

Can't it see the black wolf?

Black Wolf looked around; the shadows were still those of the trees, and the distance was farther than when he had jumped earlier.

It raised its head again, and the light shone from behind it. If it wanted to get closer to the shadow, it would have to jump back.

Black Wolf took a few breaths, then his body glowed once more...

Is it about to attack?

But unexpectedly, despite having just suffered a loss, it still leaped backward while casting its magic, heading towards the nearest tree's shadow.

It still tried to run away; I thought it was going to fight back.

The moment the black wolf made its next move, the rock frog caught it and quickly turned around.

boom!

The sound of tearing the ground came again, and the rock frog once more rammed into the fleeing black wolf.

However, the moment the rock frog approached the black wolf, its shadow obscured the wolf's shadow.

"Awoo!"

As a loud wolf howl rang out, the shadow of the black wolf suddenly twisted and turned into a pitch-black wolf's mouth, biting down towards the rock frog's underside!

Snap!

The Shadow Wolf's massive jaws snapped shut, biting precisely at the junction of the rock frog's lower jaw and body!

If we were to use a human analogy, that would be the neck.

The rock frog was bitten, but its body was still lunging forward. Driven by this immense force, the black wolf's shadow tore off a large chunk of flesh.

Blood gushed out, tearing off a piece of flesh from both sides of the body to the lower body. The rock frog's soft skin was ripped apart, and even its heart was exposed.

It was only then that Yanami noticed that the rock frog's underside had the same soft skin as a regular frog.

Was the black wolf not looking at its broken claw just now, but observing the rock frog's weakness?!

"Woof..."

All of this happened in just two seconds. Although the black wolf's shadow successfully inflicted serious injuries on the rock frog, it had no way to stop the flying rock frog.

The rock frog did indeed collide with the black wolf this time, but its speed was slowed down slightly, preventing it from directly splitting the wolf in two.

They both fell under the tree. The black wolf fell backward, and the rock frog, which was a size larger than it, pinned it down. The black wolf tried to lift the rock frog with its remaining paws, but the rock frog was simply too heavy.

"Click, click-click..."

The rock frog was badly injured and had lost all its previous vitality.

Its mouth opened wide, and air was inhaled and exhaled from its torn throat, spraying blood and making a clicking sound as the blood blocked its airway.

Wow, it's a lose-lose situation, I never expected it to turn out like this...

The black wolf could still struggle, but the rock frog was gradually losing its vitality; perhaps...

A bold idea popped into Yanami's mind—perhaps she could rescue the severely injured Black Wolf and then give him to Klein!

As long as it doesn't die, Klein can restore it. Yanami just needs to save it and then let Klein take control.

Klein has always been the one giving to and protecting Yanami, and she wants to do something for Klein in return.

Yanami observed the black wolf's condition, struggling to twist its body, but slowly lost its strength, tilted its head back and slumped to the ground, its eyes looking in Yanami's direction. Yanami noticed that its eyes were already somewhat weak.

It will be crushed to death if this continues; it seems we must move the rock frog away.

Yanami used her mind control to command the Thunderhorn Deer to approach the Rock Frog, intending to try and push it off the Black Wolf...

"Click, click-click!"

But as the horned deer approached, the rock frog struggled violently, and one of the horned deer's antlers was broken off.

That's troublesome; it seems the movement of the thunder antler deer has disturbed it.

The black wolf also struggled in pain, its body emitting a glow... but nothing happened.

Did the magic fail to activate? After all, given the current situation.

There's no other way; if it keeps moving around like that, the black wolf will definitely get crushed first.

Yanami drew her demon sword, Blood Eater, intending to finish off the rock frog first.

Only when Yanami got to the side did she realize how fierce the battle was; there were fallen trees and torn flesh everywhere.

A profound shock!

Yanami used her mind strike on the rock frog, and its struggles immediately stopped, its entire body stiffening.

Controlling the distance to avoid being affected by the attack, Yanami seized the opportunity and plunged the magic sword into its brain through its eye.

Rest in peace.

The rock frog twitched a few times, then became completely still.

Huh?

A strange feeling came over Yanami's mind.

It seems... I've awakened a new ability?

However, now is not the time to test our capabilities.

After these struggles, Black Wolf seemed to have completely lost consciousness, but fortunately he did not die.

Yanami beckoned the Thunderhorn Deer over, and just as they were about to push the rock frog off the black wolf, the rock frog mysteriously sank into the thick shadows...

No... it's the black wolf that has turned into a shadow!

not good!

As Yanami snapped out of her daze, she sensed an attack coming from behind her through her hostility reading.
